Netherlands Risk Assessment Country Guide

An artistic and exciting country, the Netherlands is well-developed, founding member of the European Union. With more than 16 million citizens, the northwestern European nation has a strong economy bolstered by shipping, fishing, trade and banking. The Netherlands may be a desirable location for many expats and other foreign travelers.

According to the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO), more than 1.8 million British nationals travel to the Netherlands each year. While most visits are trouble-free, there are still a number of unique risks present to those traveling abroad. It is recommended that you elect the appropriate international insurance coverage prior to leaving your home country. Comprehensive coverage can ensure financial stability while overseas, and limit the monetary impact in the event of injury, illness or incident.

Health care facilities are in relatively good condition throughout the Netherlands. However, it may be expensive to receive certain types of care, so proper insurance is important. Before leaving for the country, you should contact your primary care physician to discuss any possible vaccinations or other preventative measures.
